Kelly's Heroes

[Gov Kodos]

I just rewatched this, and it continues to bring a smile. Too many war films send their messages by being serious, this one does so very much more than most. Positive waves baby,!

 

[Icemizer]

A terrific and fun film all the way. Sutherland, O'conner, Rickles, Savalas, and Eastwood made for a great cast. Watched back to back with the Dirty Dozen and you have a great night of WWII films.

Indeed, though I would double feature it with The Great Escape.

That leads me to think, war movie double features, what would you reccomend? For instance Sink the Bismark and The Battle of the River Plate

 

[Mr Light]

I haven't seen this in ten years but I remember loving it as a teenager.

The Great Escape would team well with Bridge on the River Kwai.

 

[Caliburn24]

I love Kelly's Heroes, its on my dvd shelf somewhere.

And it should naturally be paired with Three Kings, for a war movie/caper movie double header.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Great little movie, very funny.

I first saw it on a slightly peculiar double bill (they used to show two movies for the price of one, guys) with M*A*S*H.

 

[WillsBabe]

I haven't seen it in decades and I can't really remember a damn thing about it... excpet, I know I love it. It seemed to be on every Christmas when I was a kid, and my dad and I always watched it together.

 

[Lonemagpie]

I watch this at least once a year- it's the perfect escapist war movie

"Always with the negative waves..."

Great movie with a great cast.

 

[sidious618]

Great film, no doubt.

 

[Emher]

"It's still up!" *Airplane flies in and bombs the bridge he was looking at* "Nah it aint!"

Great movie, too long since I saw it.

Wonderful movie - it still holds up quite well.

 

[Captain Dago]

Woof, woof!

 

[Nerys Myk]

One of my favorite films.

 

[the G-man]

The song that plays over the closing credits (burning bridges) is one of my dad's favorites. For a while he would just play his VHS tape of the movie's final moments just to hear that song...over and over. Fortunately, I finally found it on a CD.

 

[Star Wolf]

I love Kelly's Heroes, its on my dvd shelf somewhere.

And it should naturally be paired with Three Kings, for a war movie/caper movie double header.

Or maybe The Bridge at Remagen showing just about the same period of the war.

 

[Lonemagpie]

For the perfect match, Where Eagles Dare- same director and crew, and Clint as well...

 

[Duncan MacLeod]

... and Ingrid Pitt in that Bavarian barmaid's outfit just to make things perfect.

It's too bad that Mary Ure was so insecure that she had Ingrid's role cut drastically. They were both beautiful ladies, and now both are gone.
